Bucephalandra – Dracula Bucephalandra 'Dracula' is a rare and highly sought-after aquatic plant, admired for its dark, textured leaves and compact growth. Depending on lighting and water conditions, the foliage can display deep green, bluish, or almost black tones with a subtle metallic sheen, making it a striking focal point in any aquascape.

Perfect for nano tanks and nature-style aquascapes, Bucephalandra 'Dracula' also provides excellent grazing surfaces for shrimp and biofilm-loving fish.
